This is probably way out there, but I wonder if the staff made a strategic move by offering this kid so early.
I know they wouldn't offer unless they want him, but the timing is interesting. Did he even camp or is the offer based on film?
Anyway, with Hale talking package deal (I know it's with is cousin) does this help Hale feel more comfortable knowing that
OSU is high on another teammate? At least I hope it does.
